So, having used the built in transfer function to transfer everything 

over from my Powerbook to my Macbook Pro ....

I thought at first everything awas ok with Max, but then realised (or 

started getting) various error messages. So I figured the best thing 

to do was to wipe everything and start again.

So I removed 4.6 with AppZapper, after copying all of my 4.5 & 4.6

error: can't fragload ezdac~ (missing), err-4

If I do a Find for ezdac~ I find ezdac~.mxo and ezdac~.help , but

I had the exact same problem and fixed it by trashing my preferences. I know it sounds stupid and that's exactly how I feeled after spending an evening trying to fix that by re-installing everything...Lesson here: always start debugging by trashing preferences.
